Non-Xda II (I-Mate?) Shortcuts in startup folder?

Can someone please advise which shortcuts are included in the startup folder on the standard vanilla build of the Xda II (non-O2 branded) as I'm trying to work out which I can safely remove on my O2 Xda II.
Cheers in advance.

Hmm I'd like to know this too.
Also, how about that dreadful, dreadful, O2 Active program, eh?!!! I uninstalled it the minute I realised I could.
Just for those who are interested, the startup files on the O2UK build are:
AFlashMan
BPInsert
BTIcon
CFlashMan
CheckAutoRun
HandsFree
IA_Caller_ID
MMReg
NFlashMan
poutlook
SMSReceiver
stk
TFlashMan
USSD

Tell me about it, the O2 software in plain bloatware. That's why I want the list of standard shortcuts to know what I can move out in advance of removing the CAB files at the next hard reset.

Programs in the extended rom (o2 uk xda mini s)

Hi there, i have done a install without the extra o2 software by doing a soft reset as it started installing them, but would like to know each of the cab files in the extended rom are for.
i already know that CAB-Shortcut-MMS1-JAVA5XX-VOICE-O2-31Oct05.CAB is the program for the mms but what are the other ones for?
Also which one is the one that installs all the gprs and mms settings?
Cheers Scott

Anyone ?
and.. GO!

I've just this evening started playing around with the extended rom contents myself.

What do you mean, the program for the MMS?
The only one I know so far is that SmartDialing_enable_0915_signed.CAB restores the nice smart dialing function to the 'Phone' application (as the name suggests!).
Does anyone know what the AutoRun.exe file actually does? I assume one of the things it does is execute config.txt but it seems quite a big file to do just that (103.8k). Anybody got any ideas?

Hi Folks,
1st of all - the most programs are NOT INSTALLED. They are actually installed in the ROM-part already! This was different on the Magicians - so everybody thinks it is so with the Wizard.
Every CAB that is around 70k contains only some links or registry entries - since most of the 70k space is used by the CAB-signing and internal stuff.
CAB-Shortcut-MMS1-JAVA5XX-VOICE-O2-31Oct05.CAB is NOT the MMS-Program but a small CAB (around 70k) which inserts ONLY the links to JAVA (MidletManager) Voice-Dialing and MMS to /windows/startmenu/programs
SmartDialing_enable_0915_signed.CAB does NOT install the Smartdialling up - it just ENABLES it. The CAB just inserts some Registry-entries so the program can be used.
The "biggest" File on my VPA compact 2 is the "Customize_Voda_DE.cab" which contains a lot of BITMAP-Graphics for the (IMHO very nice looking) vodafone Dialpadskin/Dialskin.
Greetings

Ah that explains a lot!
Thanks!

WM5 dialpad and smart dialler

I've got an XDA Mini, but installed using the corporate install - no O2 rubbish.
I used the registry hack to change the dialpad back to the original WM5 one, but now the smartdialler thing won't work. I've changed back to the O2 one and it works again.
Any suggestions to get smartdialler working with the WM5 dialpad?
Cheers.

The extended Rom contains additional configuration and registry settings as a CAB. I reset mine without the O2 stuff then ran Smartdialing_enable_0915_signed.CAB from the extended rom directory. Restart the device after that and you've got the smart dialler back (well thats how it worked for me anyway!).

Does not work. It is possible more in detail?

I think will not work!
I Have a T-Mobile MDA Vario, chnge registry too because don't like T-Mobile Dialer skin, and smartdialer not work anymore... same as bsterngillet.
Now I change ROM to Qtek and work dialer and smartdialer WM5 default... and is much light = speed!

When you say not working, do you mean the .CAB file is not there or that nothing happens when you run it?
If it isn't there I could post my copy to the internet but other than that I am only going on my experiences with UK ROM's I'm afraid! On another thread, user 'Plantagoo' has cleared up what the CAB files do more so it may be that your device does not have the smartdialler program (I'm just guessing here!).

Where to take Smart Dialing for Pocket PC ver. 2.2?

Universal Silver / Black Phone Skin + Carrier's

I made silver phone skin for Universal.
The screenshot shows Japanese, but you will see English if you use English ROM.
Enjoy!!
Jun-03, 2006
Added Black one.
Again, the letters depends on your ROM or mui setting except for "Video".
Jun-08, 2006
I found some people wants carrier's.
You will see them on FTP/Upload/Universal/Phone Skins
You can the following phone skins:
Qtek 9000/i-Mate JasJar/Dopod 900: Qtek_Phone_Skin.cab
O2 Xda Exec: O2_Phone_Skin.cab
T-Mobile MDA Pro: T-Mobile_Phone_Skin.cab
Vodafone v1640: Vodafone_Phone_Skin.cab
Orange SPV M5000: Orange_Phone_Skin.cab
Again, the characters on buttons depand on your mui setting.
Enjoy!!
June-21
Uoloaded carrier's on this thread.

Very nice, but this has to be installed in the main memory to work, thus taking up our precious memory.

very nice , can you pm me how to make it :wink:
thanks

cktlcmd:
Yes, this cab file is too big just to change phone skin. It would be possible to use skin files in storage after changing registry.
I recommend cooking your own ROM with your own skin (or mine). (Of course, you cannot use carrier's in this case.
mwang:
There are many *.bmp files used for phone skin. I haven't perfectly found which bmp file is related to each button.
Only with this change, you cannot change "Video" button. The *.dll files (phcanlrc.dll & phcanprc.dll) have resources for "Video" button. You have to change it if you want to change "Video" button.
You will need to change resources of "phcanOverbmp.dll" if necessary.
As for registry, you will find many keys under [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Phone\Skin]

I have tryed to run one of the files on an Emulator and the Emulator HArd resetted itself. Have you got any idea ??? will that happen with the device also ? PLus does it really mean that you can get rid of the ugly t-mobile phone skin but keep the Video button ??

Churchill:
I've never run these skin files on emulator, but these worked fine on my Qtek-9000. I also can swich skins with these cab files. I have no idea why these skins shut off your emulator.
Regarding "Video" button, these are included in dll files in my cab file. You can modify or replace it to another one. It would be possible to use T-Mobile "Video" button only. (i.e. use Vodafone skin and replace dll to T-Mobile)
P.S. I don't think T-Mobile's is ugly but this is only a taste.

hard reset problem <Emulator
i guess OS on emulator didnt have 3G function.
so relative files of 3G function, such like follows confilict with its owns.
phcanprc.dll
phcanOverbmp.dll
phcanlrc.dll
phcanhtc.dll
phcanrc.dll
anyway, shugo's sikins are for the Phone with 3G,
should not use on Non-3G phone.

You might be right abou that Asukal
Thanx

Best phone skin so far??
I've seen this phone skin...I love it...
And I've used the search function on this site, but can only find it available for smaller screen HTC devices... ie; KJam :x It does not work on the Universal.
I'm no expert, but can someone explain to me how (in idiot's language please) I can recreate this skin for the Universal?
I can use Photoshop easy, so once I figure out how to extract the relevant gif files, I can alter the buttons quite easily....
If someone can explain it to me, I am willing to email / post the results back here...
Here's what the skin looks like...

try spb dialer skin
hi all..
for those who is really bored with the original dialer skin,..

"Wisbar Advance 2", you have to download from Wisbar website.
But you need to download the Theme from the web (done by somebody) it is call Pocket OsX.
http://members.chello.nl/ddelug/skin.htm
Be warn that Wisbar will slowdown the PPC a little bit.
I think the new dial pad from CrossBow Theme looks better.

how on earth do you change the keypad skin on a universal without going to registry all the time i thought its meant to chnage with the theme.
regards

I actually did registry edit almost manually.
First I copy the keypad related registry out into *.REG files. Keep this as a backup and make another copy to do a text edit and modified it manually. Basically the filenames are the same, I put the new skin in the extended rom, so I need only to change the texts "\Windows\" to "\ExtendedRom\Windows\". Afterwhich I copy the new *.REG back into the registry. Soft reset and NEW　ＤＩＡＬＰＡＤ ＳＫＩＮ.

Orange Today Plugin

Hi guys,
I was trying different ROM's on my Universal today, to see what the different operators were offering. When I came across the Orange Today Plugin. I like the idea of it, but not the setup.
So, I was wondering if anyone here knew how to add, remove, or change the items in this plugin ?
I did a little search of the forum for an answer to this question, but it seems i'm looking to do the opposite to what everyone else is doing.

re
could u be more specific...

In this screen dump, you can see the plugin.
I'd like to be able to change the selections and the links in each selection.
For example, change the five links in the Web selection of the screen dump to five of my own URL's.
Or better still, add or replace one of the selections in the plugin with one that points to My Device. That when highlighted would have links to 'My Docs' 'SD Card' 'Program Files' etc.
I hope that makes sence.

I'm searching the same solution.

Hi filippodisvevia,
I fonud how to change the URL's, but not the sections.
Look in your Windows folder for a file called Full_one.xml, the URL's are at the top and the link names are near the bottom.
Good luck :wink:

thnx

Thank's so much.

I haven't Full_One.xml
I use only the plug-in extracted by the orange rom.
Some other ideas ?

Hi cudo,
Here http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=61711&highlight=today+plugi+orange you can file the cab e some other file.
I'd like to personalize the cab if I understand how it work.
It works on qtek 9000\jasjar\xdaexec so I think is good for t-mobile too.

Hi Guys,
That plugin is from the SPV M3100 and works diferently to the Universal version. See my post at the bottom of that link above.
If you want the proper Universal Today Plugin with bigger icons for the Universals bigger screen. You'll have to install the Orange M5000 ROM, as its built into it. Plus the Orange ROM has just been updated with a new Radio driver.
I'm using the new Orange ROM, with the last O2 Ext ROM, and the Signed_ORUK_HomeScreenReg.sa.CAB from the Orange Ext ROM as it has the Reg settings for the plugin. And everything is working great. 8)

Can you attach the cab ?
:thx:

I downloaded the cab from ftp, and install it, but nothing seems to hapen
I have T-mobile base rom and Qtek extended rom installed...

Hi people,
This thread is more usefull if you are looking for a cab file.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=61711&highlight=
I installed the cab posted and works fine on my wizard. Although u do lose all your other today plugin functionality. But the plugin is handy. even though limited in use.
I was thinking of finding some great developers on this site who would like to creat such a program but which could be used alongside the other today plugins. Anyone interested let me know.
Cheers,
Shah

What do you mean "finding some great developers"?

@filippodisvevia,
Heres the CAB file, but it ONLY works with the Orange ROMs. As the files needed aren't in the other ROM's.
@gtm55,
You need the Orange ROM installed before the CAB file will work.

Great or good developers. Who are able to program such a plugin. because u have beginner programmers, novice programmers, and advanced programmers and if you like great programmers.
Just to keep it simple a person or persons who are able to create such a apps, which is usable in different WM phone devices. I just used great, because I know there are some pretty great (good) programmers on this site.
Cheers,
Shah

Thank you, ZaForD, I really like Orange plug-in, but I'll stay with T-mobile (1.30.115 WWE).

Thank's so much fora cab Zanford
