I would advice you use SmartToolKit RC08 as it works well with the dash, can be downloaded @ http://www.neilmorgan.co.uk/btbbanywhere/closing_applications.htm. Place this file on phone via active sync or beam via bluetooth find it via Filemanager on phone and click on and install. You will need to go into it's options to get it to load @ startup.
Hope this helps.
More software available @ http://www.neilmorgan.co.uk/btbbanywhere/software_good.htm

I've been wondering about this myself... After getting a screen capture on SmartToolkit, how do you get the bitmap to display in your post as a thumbnail? For some reason, I can only get it to be an attachment--but I want it to be visible to everyone as they scroll past my post.

hmm, I've never had a problem with this. All i do is take the screen shot, then put the xx.bmp on the desktop, upload it as an attachment and viola, it's there
if you want, i'll do it right now.
EDIT: I just realized what i did, open image in paint, save it as jpeg and upload the jpeg. it should work fine
Good Luck !

I like "My Mobiler". Free app, runs from your desktop and allows you to control your phone screen and save screenshots directly to your PC.

Are you running WM 6.1/Vista? I'm having trouble connecting it. Ok, i tried everything but it just does not connect, Ahh - Even tried connecting from the phone. Nothing happens. Just says connecting but never ends up connecting.
Can someone else try it out & tell me if it's working for them or not?
You know what, It's the damn firewall in vista but even after i turned it off, it's not working.
Oh well, nevermind
VISTA SUCKS - There you go, had to say it.

Pocket Controller Pro by SOTI is the way to go my friend
If only there a was a way to write sms's as well on the desktop, that'd be great...!

I use Smart SS
http://www.louterrailloune.com/smartss/
I also notice that there is now Smart SS+
http://www.louterrailloune.com/smartss-2/
I like that it is a small specific app without all the other junk like Smart Tool Kit. Not that I don't like Smart Tool Kit but it has a lot of stuff in it and if all you want is a screen shot than this app will do.
Seems like SMart SS+ will allow you to take .png and .jpeg as well as .bmp

Thanks for all the links guys, I will def try these out.

Where are the plugins located

Im using Kavana Ricky's remade.
Have just made an error on CHome customise of Programs.
I changed the Plugin icons: Location istead of the Picture location now i don't have the programs bar on home screen.
Can someone please provide location.
Thanks in Advance.
Try this.
Start menu -- My Tools -- Configurator -- and click on the plugin you want to show. It's probably just hidden. You can also move up or down which ever one you want.

That just changes the picture of the app your displaying had done them all then messed up.
I believe you will have to find the image you want or originally had for your programs panel and put it in your windows folder. Then find the path somehow and type it in. Like I said I don't know, but tried. I would wait for a mod to help or someone with more experience.
Good luck and keep me posted.

Thanks bro, I like the look of it , I'm sure I'll like it even more when I get used to the layout.
shouldn't you install everything to the device?
what's the advantage of installing it to the storage card?
Anyone having trouble with the "windows\start menu" and this tool ?
When I navigate to that folder when SmartToolKit is installed, my screen starts flickering when I browse to the first shortcuts (Active sync,..)
Allready tried a hardreset and reflashed the rom (NRG Rose Rom v1.7 - Remade by Ricky and Stylez ), but no luck. Problem shows itself after installing SmartToolKit (RC08)
Will try to upload a vid showing the problem.

To keep space on the device the only things i would advise installing to device is things that load @ startup as device memory is read faster and also the Movie Player as you are reading the Movie from memory card.
Reason to keep more space on the device as it slows down access when you fill up just like a HD even though it is solid state.

Yes I try to keep as much as possible on my storage card, unless is a program, like you said that it necessarily needs to be in the device.
oh now i know
This is a sweet app, I dunno why I waited until now to try it out. I heard people mention it affects battery life, how bad does it affect the battery? Does it make a noticable difference? Im using a fatty 2200 mAh.

.CAB help, splicing themes

Hi guys,
I seem to be having some problems. I previously sliced roloracer's colored topbar theme with the new delicacy theme to acquire some great effects. but now i need it in .cab form for others who want to colored topbar. i have all the files and my .xml in a zip file. if anyone wants to take a look at it and compile the cab and tell me what the heck i did wrong it would be greatly appreciated. shoot me a pm or post if you want me to send you the file for you to look at. it's always somethings small.. and i'm sure i'm missing it. proofreaders make the world go round.
Send me a PM with the link & where the files go and i'll shoot it back
I know what you did wrong!
you sliced "my colored topbar" instead of making your own.

well you know... i spent all day at the state fair and then doing homework and by the time it came to photoshop time my eyes where getting tired.. so i saved the hard work and went to the coding... but apparently that requires mental powers that aren't there.. i swear i need to mute my email notification. every time i go to sleep i get a message from xda with a reply waking me up again. if you give me pixel sizes i think i'll create some amazing topbar images. all you have to do is make the cab.. since thats the part i seem to fail at.

Hi guys, glad you liked it I might mess around with more wallpapers to see if I can come with with anything else interesting. If there are enough going around, I'll create a new section on my blog with a list of wallpapers.

I don't have access to a Trophy, but if anyone else tries this, could they please mention the model they have and whether or not it works. I'll update the blog post with the information. Thanks

Hi hboos,
Try sending it from another account, as Avandor did. I sent mine from my Hotmail account. When you download, don't download the entire message. Click on the PNG attachment and then wait a few moments. Once the 'cancel' button next the attachment disappears, click again. This should open it in the picture viewer with the option to set as wallpaper. I'll update the blog post to see if anyone else with an Omina has tested it.
ok working now , dif email

Hey thanks man.
i did as you said and it works
if you save the image and change it from the saved image then it doesn't work..
strange
but good work dude!
Thanks for the feedback guys! It's strange that the transparency is lost if you load the image via the normal route. Might be one of the reasons the Zune software doesn't sync PNG files.
Created a new one for fun. Takes advantage of the fact that the screen isn't loaded until the lock screen is activated.
Image I used:
Image link
if you change it just make sure you save the email so it can reload.

Multiple Lttle Discoveries (not nessicarilly helpful I dont know).

1. When in the browser and you turn your phone sideways at the sametime as you open the keyboard everything disappears and its only the webpage no browser bar. nothing. I have a screenshot iI attached with this.
2. When I import my contacts in the secret menu an XML error shows up every time. Theres another screenshot below of this.
3. I have a question. Has anyone ever tried breaking into the phone with a penetrator virus while the phone is synching or connected to the computer and/or program?
4. There is an iPhone web app that works on the KIN. It will give you the ip address of your phone and tons of other things. its a DNS Tool. I will give you the link once I find it. I have a screenshot of this attached.

I've never heard of anything like that. Maybe Microsoft put some wierd implementation of XML (like they do with everything) that has some different syntax involving the file transfer or something (honestly i don't know what i'm talking about here cuz i can't really explain what i mean). They just do things like that so i'll see if i can find anything out about these errors.

That may work for getting through some security measures on the phone but isn't that dangerous? I'm not going to try that because I actually use the phone. Maybe John will try it.

These are some good finds. They could be useful for my silverlight ui idea if i find a use for the ip address (like maybe if i found some way to send the silverlight stuff to the phone by targeting the ip address).
Overall, good findings!
Thanks. Im not going to try going in using a virus becuase I use mine. So yeah.
