There is a fix for this - look through the Black Tough v2 (WM6) thread - you have to stop WMP starting in library mode.

Success!
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
It was a conflict with RealVGA.
For those who have this problem and don't want to spend an hour looking through the thread, this is what i did:-
1.
Ran it in 192dpi, went into the media player options and took off the option to start in library.
This worked but if i tried to access the library it locked again.
2.

Installed this and everything works perfectly.

Great fix....thank you...

In addition to this, also go to Menu->Options->Skins tab and preview the skin. It takes a while before it displays. Do this in 192dpi mode and do it for both orientations.
Edit - Oh sorry, didn't see about the cab. I replied to the wrong post. But if you still have problems, do what I suggested too.

Screen Rotation for Dummies (SRS)

Hi,
This is seems to be the last version of our magic tool - Screen Rotation Service (or SRS). It includes Second Edition's Today Theme (menu & today scrollers support in landscape) and feature to automatically resize your today screen for Landscape Theme!
(Download it here: setup.armv4.exe)
During installation you will need to answer "Yes" to this message:
Code:
The file"\Windows\ace_ddi.dll" is hidden, read-only, or a system file. Would you like to replace the existing file?
After installation you need to go to: [Start menu] - [Settings] - [Today] and select "WMSE" theme from the list
And one more, minimize (X) your programs before switching
Thanx to abc and everyone here!
Re: SRS HE = Halloween Edition
Feel free to post your feedback/questions on this version of SRS to this thread
More recommendations that i remember about SRS:
1) Do not soft-reset your device when in landscape-mode
2) Minimize (X) your programs when switching between different modes
To install SRS-HE:
1] Download SRS-HE to your PC
2] Run it to get "setup.armv4.cab"
3] Copy this file to your PDA
4] Tap on it to install SRS-HE
5] Soft-reset your device
6] Go to [Start Menu] -> [Settings] -> [Today]
7] Select "Wmse" Theme from the list
8] Use [Start Menu]->[Settings]->[SRS] to switch the modes

No it is installable on any Himalaya device with any combinations of ROM, radio and ExtROMs
If it doesn't run at your specific system, you can always uninstall it without any damage. It really worth to try!
Yeah, I have ROM 1.60 (latest O2 UK rom) and it didn't work very well at all. Half the OS had problems, including the camera (even v2.5), the Today screen and many of the Control Panel applets.
I've seen reports on this site of people having fewer problems with ROM 1.66, but I don't think anybody has claimed that they've got it working with ROM 1.60 without problems.
Still, I'm hoping O2 UK are going to release 1.72 tomorrow!

Where did you get such ROM version? And why you are not moving to 1.72? It doesn't really matter who the supplier of the ExtRom is (imate, qtec, tmob...) it is a matter of OS rom content. So, just update your device and receive a set of 1.72 advantages (faster BT binding, greater performance, no good CT and so on)

No updates so far...
Everything seems to work fine...
But now it's very important to have phone app, calc app, WMP and cam app setted to run in landscape mode.

I got the update from my service provider: O2 in the UK. It's the latest version available, at the moment. I don't need all the hassle of messing about with ROMs from other countries and providers. I'll wait until the next ROM is released by O2 for me. (Tomorrow.)

Well I guess the skins are not all we need to have them work in landscape mode. What we need are dll files who "teach" to app what skin to chose... :roll:

Does the camera work the same on pda2k? They have 2.5, do they?
To clarify: As I said in http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=63690#63690 ,the Dll's modded files are not complete,THEY ARE NOT WORKING,we need to manage theme more.. more dll's,more registry keys..
So I posted it there hoping in someone help.

Is it possible to port Control Panel from SE?
Thanx
Sure it can..
But I am not that smart to port it..
This work is need to someone like ABC.. 8)
I have a sugestion for all of ya, I have SRS instaled on my mda II, and I like it, but don't ever set an alarm in landscape mode, my MDA was playing the stupid melody for quite a long before it stoped.
The reason is that there were no snoose an dismiss button.
Even a soft-reset won't help.
Maybe the action button, but mine stoped by itself.

Wisbar advance desktop <-AWESOME

I've just found that Chris @ WisbarAdvance (www.lakeridgesoftware.com) has created a plugin that makes WM5 into ablank desktop on which u can do anything. It's awesome, and seems stable on my JasJar (no alarm failures etc). Some kelw features:
- Different landscape vs portrait themes (so no cut-off images)
- Remove soft buttons on today screen
- shortcuts
- virtual screens and popups of shortcuts
- text meters and graphic meters
Basically anything that any other plugin offers!
Check it out.
Checked on the lakeridge website and couldn't find it- whereabouts is it?
Thanks,
Fin
This site states it is NOT compatable with windows mobile 5.0

lakeridge forums are back up now!
it works, but as you begin using it, you'll find out that your Universal will become EXTREMELY slow.
This is a known issue for WM5 and Universal, so a new update has to come out.

Are you referring to the 2.4.1.11 beta or shipping version when you say it is very slow ?
I installed the software but it made my device slower than ever.
I uninstalled it, and my device is OK now.
I'm using GSPocketMagic Ver 1.32.18, it's the only program which does not affect the speed of Jasjar and does all functions I need to close the running programs. It really made using my Jasjar is much better, easier, and faster.

Is It just me?
Hi,
-Went to WAD forums, dl'd RC6 and even RC5 beta of WAD, WM5 .Cab...
-dl'd from JJ incidentally
-installed CAB from File Explorer
-Install deemed "successful" after CAB ran.
-Soft reset and the whole 9 yards (ie: double checked today screen settings) and see no aesthetic change to Today Screen's look, and some ambiguous WAD folder in Programs.
Advice much appreciated Dudes.
Thank U!
I'm having problems with this too... I just get a blank desktop and it won't load any of the skins I've downloaded to work with it...
Pah.
lol
haha
you need a full version of wisbar advanced!! then you can add the the WAD plugin ;o) worked fine for me..
only problem is that wisbar advance is not wm5 optimized.. it slows the Universal down!!!
so better leave it.. and wait for optimized wm5 software!!
Don;t agree. JJ is just as fast as it was after hard reset and GPMagic++ - EXCEPT that portrait-landscape change is VERY slow - 8 seconds vs 1.5. That's cos it loads a WHOLE new theme and skin - a penalty I'm happy to live with for all the otehr benefits - cascading menu, awesome desktop capabilities, original task management, awesome skinning, etc etc.
hmm
remove it all and reset your device and notice how much faster the universal is.. even if you just stay in landscape mode.
i removed all sbsh software and also pocketbreeze and my universal is 20 times faster.
if you don't mind the lagg when changing from landscape to portrait ok, but the menu and all other programs do behave slower too.
When i flip my screen to landscape it now changes instantly.. have to say i use checknotifications. ;o)
just hoping for a great update soon, or else i sell my mda pro to someone here in holland for 600 euros and wait for version 2 LOL
I agree, Wisbar Advance does slow down the device. No wonder, all this graphic wealth has to come at a cost: resources!

Hi,
Is BT Stereo working fine for Pocket Music? I've problems with WM player and TCMIP. Especially for TCMIP, it does not close properly after i exit the program, giving me a black screen with white strips until I soft reset the device.
pls advise, thanks.

It's a known bug with 0.71 of TCPMP - grab the latest 0.72 release candidate and this problem should be fixed. Had the same issue myself and it's listed as fixed in the release notes even.

Newsland

I always used AvantGo on my old PPC, so wanted something similar for my Exec. I found Newsland on MS's website (yeah, I know, I deserve everything I get) and it had some good reviews.
Unfortunately, it doesn't work, and the website I'm supposed to register with is no longer in existance. The only site I can find is in Russian.
I thought "Stuff it" and tried to remove the software. I used settings>remove on the Exec. It has gone from the program list, but the software is still there. I tried removing it through Activesync, same result; gone from the program list, still on the Exec. I've tried a soft reset, it's still there, taking up room. Any ideas?
Newsland Remove
Hi,
I think the following is happened:
The Today screen plugin of Newsland was still active wen you tryed to remove Newsland. What you need to do is, try to install the software again, and when this is done deactivate the today plugin. Than remove the program again. After that you can look with the File Explorer and look at Program Files if the map Newsland still excist's. If so, you can delete it!
Hope this helps,
Cheers Leo
Does this mean AVantGO does not work in our Universal? Any other alternative to get NEWS REPORT on our Universal?
@cktlcmd
Hi,
If you want to use a good newsreader!
http://garishkernels.net/egress.shtml
For me this is the best, tried Newsbreak and SPB Insight but this one is much faster and better designed.

Thanks very much.
Thanks Laurentius26, I'll try it now.
To the person asking if AvantGo works - it does work, just fine, in landscape or portrait. Just go to the AvantGo website and download the latest version. Annoyingly, it insists on syncing through it's own software rather than going through Activesync, and it seems slower to upload than it was on my 3 year old RX3715.
Still, it does the job just fine. I wanted to try something a bit different, so I may have a look at the other suggestions.
Edit - worked like a charm. Thanks again.

ORB streaming not working after upgrade

All,
when I stream from mycast.orb.nl and try to open a playlist or a file I get: "This protected file type is not supported on this device, and will not be downloaded."
Any suggestions?
I have allready installed TCMP.....but it won't help, I'm on the latest 2.05 test WWE rom.....
same here....
Yep, me too.
It happens for all videos and music that I've tried to stream (WindowsMedia.com, for example). Haven't actually tried any locally stored files, 'cause all my music is in .ogg format, and they seem to work in Pocket Player.
I've gone back to the 2.3 ROM for now. I did condider using the Swedish AKU3.3 ROM with the English patch, but I can't be bothered with the hassle for now, and the AKU3.3 upgrade wasn't so amazing, so I'm happy to wait for a final HTC version...
Orb is working fine with the 2.06 Cingular ROM. Sorry I don't have an an answer for you

No, I changed nothing.
using cingular rom as well, works great on wifi connection and gprs/3g connection, no editing of settings needed, other than switching what connection to use so it connects correctly to either wifi or gprs.
you need to get rid of that rom the 2.5 one.... i had the same problems with all that.. i changed it to the cingular 2.6 one and perfect it works... the only problem i am having is when i download videos off the internet it does not give me the option of where to save it to.. i want to save it to my SD card but idk how to change it?
any update ?
This must be a PIE configuration (registry) issue, right ? The behavior reminds me of a "system policy" on desktop windows.
Minimo can download the .asx file fine; PIE instead displays the dialog:
