Hi!
I have a Dell Axim x50v (VGA device) running WM5 AKU 2.3, and would really want to have HTML support for email, since WM5 email client doesn't support it. I don't want to download any extra third-party application like Flexmail, but rather would like to know if there is some kind of a plugin for this native email client that allows HTML support.... I heard of WM6 and it's richer email client. Is there any way you can install WM6 email client on a windows mobile 5 device like mine? If not, is there any WM6 ROM that will work on my PDA? (Other things like viewing Internet Explorer Mobile in high resolution mode, or the new "calendar ribbon" would also be a worthy upgrade.)
.... There is a very slight chance that Dell will release an official WM6 upgrade considering how old my model is.... (it came out in 2004, being replaced by x51 models in late 2005).
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
For what I have read, you are basically out of luck.
You can't rip the email client out of WM6 since it seems to be very much incorporated within the OS. If you want to enjoy the WM6 email client you have to upgrade.
As far as if there is a WM6 I am not sure and since you have reached a HTC forum, well, have you tried a Dell site?

Quoted for the truth.
Outlook (PIM) depends on Shell, Shell depends on Coredll, Coredll depends on kernel. Bummer.
Like I said, there is no chance that Dell will be releasing WM6 upgrade for its handhelds, so visiting "aximsite" wasn't very usefull for me right now.
When you guys mentioned that the WM6 email client is very much incorporated with the OS, does the same apply with the Internet Explorer Mobile that now supports high resolution, or the Microsoft "MarketPlace"?
Is there at least a third-party HTML support plugin for the native email client, or is Flexmail the only solution for viewing HTML-formatted emails? (I would really prefer a "free" third-party application.)

Try Qmail IMHO the best email program and what is more important free
http://q3.snak.org/download/ take most up to date compilation from Nightly build section and don't be afraid about japanese page Qmail is in english! At the bottom of download page you'll find openssl extension for secure connections.
I can't properly download this "Qmail" program. If I want to download and install it through activesync by first of all extracting the zip file from the nightly build and then running the exe file, it eventually says "not a valid Win32 application" or something like that. In fact, i can't stand that official japanese website, cause i get that same message for anything i try to download from there.
Actually, i got a chance to see how Qmail works (looks pretty nice - it supports HTML, right?), but not necessary to use it. Instead of running it on a PC, i copied right away that zip file to my device, and installed Total Commander on my PPC. However, I had to extract each component for Qmail separately using the Total Commander. Really a disasterous download, if not even. It ended up opening the program, but never really saving it anywhere on my device. After a quick soft reset, there is no more trace of it.
So, SERIOUSLY, does anyone have an alternate cab or exe file of the latest nightly build for Qmail v3 that actually works, not links to that japanese website?
I think you don't get the idea of inslalling it it's not self installing program! unpack it on your desktop than move whole folder with all files (all dlls and q3u.exe) to some folder on your ppc, probably the best is storage card. You can copy files that way by opening activesync and than klicking on explore button there will be your ppc just like any other folder in normal desktop pc. Copy whole qmail folder to it and thats it, you can start qmail using totalcommander on ppc or later create some shortcut to program on today or in programs.
here is packed folder "Qmail" with all needed files unpack it on your desktop and copy unpacked folder with files to your ppc using activesync explore button! Sorry but I can't write it more simply This one works on my ppc as all other versions did!
http://przemek.nekla.pl/Qmail.rar
and one more thing here you can read somthing more about qmail and the power of this program! also how to set it up

Nice!!! I finally got Qmail installed on my device. Seems like it can do a lot more than just let you view HTML-formatted email. So, how well does it compete with the native WM6 email client?
Ohh, you guys never answered me about WM6 Internet Explorer. I find that IE that comes with WM5 takes very long time to open pages, or at least - fairly slow. (Doesn't work very well in the morning when you are in a rush, and don't want to wait for your PC to start up, and whenever it's ready to connect to the internet). Many WM6 reviews say that the WM6 IE is quite faster, supports AJAX, and especially more stable. (Don't know how to explain it to you, but when scrolling too fast the web pages, especially in landscape mode, at one point all the graphics and program icons become as if shattered with black, grey, green, red, ... lines -the images corrupted, that requires soft reset.) Not sure if this is an error, or if WM6 fixes it. That's why I was thinking of overwriting my current IEMobile with the Internet Explorer that comes with WM6. Or is it hard-coded, as well as WM6 email client, into the OS?
One last question. (sorry, if I'm bothering you guys too much.) Everyone knows that IEMobile of any kind does not allow multiple tabs. And i really would have preffered some kind of a plug-in, not a separate web browser, that allows it. I tried PIEPlus, but it also adds way too many features that I don't even need (i need a browser plugin that handles it as simple as possible) that only wastes more memory, and i think, slows down the IE even more. Any idea???
Ok, I know I was asking above lots of things. So, to make it easier:
1)Does anyone know how i can speed up my internet explorer mobile?,
2)And how i can fix that occasional screen error that occurs while browsing the internet that messes up my whole PDA?
So, um, can somebody help me?
Hello! Is anyone out there?
It's in the e-club section so you need to sign up.
I'm downloading now, i'll post feedback later today.

RE:
Cheers to HTC for finally releasing the code. Downside: No Office Mobile. Here's the link I found in these forums for the Office Mobile cab:
http://rapidshare.com/files/31706137/Office.WM6.zip
Trouble downloading?
Anyone else having trouble downloading? I signed into my e-club account, clicked on the phone software upgrade link, selected WWE and HTC Europe download site, then clicked the download button. After a few seconds, I got the usual Windows download dialog, I clicked save, selected a directory as usual, and then OK. So far it's still sitting there at 0% progress.
I downloaded the Office package from the previous thread in this link (of course, from a different site), so I know my network is working OK.
So is anyone else experiencing this? I've been patient up to today, and now chomping at the bit to get this downloaded and installed on my S620.
Thanks,
Gary

You need to CID unlock your phone if you have a tmo dash
Will this work on the HTC Branded s621 that I purchased at Best Buy?

anyone having problems of hanging on windows mobile splash screen?
Yes, I thought mine was hung on the Windows Mobile screen, so I popped the battery and restarted. It did the same thing, so I waited it out. Eventually another configuration app kicked off and everything was good to go after that.

Okay guys, I didn't find a thread that has collected these so here goes.
If there is a thread and I missed, please direct me there and I will remove this thread and move it's contents over.
There are only 2 rules in this thread:
1. No WAREZ... Shareware/Freeware or add-ons distributed without cost by the developer only.
2. This is a repository, not a Q & A. Post your packages with clear descriptions and be sure they actually work (as in you have personally used and confirmed proper operation of them).
Note these will work with any Rom Kitchen Setup that uses Bepe's CreateOS Utility. All you need to do is unzip the package into the OEM Folder and it will now be displayed on the Utility.
1-Calc Lite (Freeware) & ActiveSync Remote Display
ActiveSync Remote Display is the PPC Device Side Component that allow you to Remote to your PPC when you're conntected via Active Sync. This is the later version (v2.03)
1-Calc Lite is the Freeware version of OmegaOne's PPC Calculator Program. I prefer this to the OEM Calculator as it has more functions.
Enable HSDPA Icon This changes the [3G] Icon to [H] when there is an active HSDPA Data Session.
Hey kyphur - i've been thinking of the same idea - and perhaps all the proven to work oem's can be uploaded to a oem section of the ftp. I say proven because quite a few oem's have registry keys, files missing etc...
Good to see you active around here again
OrangeUK PreConfig
Made this this morning waiting for Soccer AM to start.
MMS & GPRS work fine for me.
Doesn't include an EXEC command to run a .tsk today screen file like most preconfig OEMs do because I don't know what your you've included in your setup.
If you want to add that, just edit Preconfig.txt to include the line somewhere above 'LOCK:disabled' -
"EXEC:\Windows\cusTSK.exe \Windows\yourtodayscheme.tsk"
(without quotes)
sorry to be off-track for a second, but Kyphur .. is that really you? Welcome back! We have missed you these many months since you started us all off with the first XDA WM 6 ROM on this site! I realize you have been back for a bit (after a little searching) but I just realized it myself this am.
Post by developer or anyone?
Hi Kyphur!!! Welcome back!!!
Great idea!!! I have my own personal repository, but I am not sure if I should be posting packages for which the developer is around and may have evolved/improved/updated them. It would be sort of like stealing their thunder
Please let me know if something is needed and if I have it, I'd be happy to upload if the original devs agree with this.
Phone alarm is a paid for bit of software, but you can download the trial from the web site. I wish to package this (and add my serial). I do not see this as contrary to the rules of the first post, but would like to check.
Have had problems trying to package it, so would appreciate it if anyone else has managed it could give me some tips.... (if someone has done it it will save me ages of comparing registry changes etc)
Here are some new
Here are the new addons I built tonight:
-The well knows network wizard
-A newer version of HTC Audio Manager (Black skin)
-pbar (really great task manager)
-Reg tweak that remove the battery and comm mgr icon located at the bottom of the today screen
-New Windows Live Messenger build 1600
Enjoy
Package ok so far; my kitchen went crazy but those *should* be fine
Keyboard Layout TyTn
also for those people with Vario 2's etc ("English" keyboards)
Keyboard Layout 8525
for Cingular keyboards
Task Manager
slightly amended from the "standard" as it includes shortcuts for Reset, Regedit and Suspend
The Keyboard Layouts were made by Matt_Kr over at the Pandora project, and the Task Manager was amended by me to include the icons from VP3G's ROM. Thanks guys, and ALL credit to original authors.

Including your paid for serial number would make it Warez. If you package the latest version without a serial number then you are okay.

I have tried this hack on the MAKUU wm6.1 beta6 "pure" and on the Lennysh wm6.1 beta 2.1 preview for my Dell Axim x51v.
See thread here: http://forum.lennysh.com/showthread.php?t=182
Basically you need the fake phone/sms DLL hack before installing the HTC plugin.
All files found here on XDA-Devs, but forgot where. So cred to the devs that first posted the files. Found clue for hack in the "Midlet Bible" by Menneisyys.
Also the HTC Home Plugin Customizer v1.0 Final found here works great!!
-NonPaq
Update: LennySH was kind enough to combine a version of HTC Home Plugin VGA with the two DLLs included in a cab for quick and easy installation. See Post #15 for Download.
thank you very much spent a lot of time on trying to get this work
@all
you need to put the dll files in windows folder..
Awesome! Man, I've been looking for ways to get it to work. I gave up and instead, used lrToday with my own clock skin. Now, I can truly get rid of that and try this. Thanks for posting this solution!
Just reflashed with LennySH edition (2.1) and I'm having problems customizing with Home Plugin Customizer v1.0. It goes through all the options, but saving does not change the plugin. I know this used to work (just look at the image). Let me know if you able to change the configurations.
BTW, is this the best "VGA version" of the plugin? The text is very small.
Dont know what I did other than reinstalling the Homeplug, but now the HTC Home Customizer works.
I experimented with installing PocketCM again (scrolling contacts). Previously, the application would immediately bomb out with missing component error. This time it actually ran!! Unfortunately its immediately closing down after loading the contacts, but at the PCM forums it appears to be a wm6.1 problem.
Looks like these fake DLLs may also allow other phone apps to now work on our non-phone Axim. (perhaps even other non-phone devices).
(I changed Homeplug to transparent backgroung, iphone icons, and silver streak clock. All auto downloaded with HTC Home Customizer.)
nonpaq
Mine doesn't work. I copied the dll files over to the Windows directory. Installed the cab file and all it shows on my Today Screen is a line separated where the HTC Home Plugin should be. BTW - haven't install the customizer yet.

I originally did this on Makuu's 6.1 pure, so I dont know what is happening. Did you reboot after install? I never did not try it in RealVGA mode however.
Pst... btw, Makuu "leaked" that he will be releasing a new rom with HomePlug built in. My discovery may just be too little too late for Makuu fans.
It will not have the plugin built in, but it will support the installation natively without any tricks. I'll post the link to the rom in few minutes.
Not sure why it's not working. Maybe I'll wait for Makuu's next release. I'll stick with Moble Shell 2 for now. Thanks.
Does it works on WM6 ? (Not 6.1)

it is a very nice looking plugin, but is it possible to change the tabs like contacts to another launcher?
If 2 or 3 tabs (on a total of 6) aren't usefull on a non-phone device, I won't have it on mine.
ok worked until I changed the theme color with mobile shell 2.. now only a seperator and free space where the plugin should be.. but I think there are better programs out there right now especially ultimate launcher
Attached is a modified cab install for the two attachments in the 1st post. Although this is the older version, I'm at work and can't post a newer version of HTC Home so I decided to go ahead and post this one for people not comfortable with copying files. Just install this cab, and soft reset.
Is there any way that the plugin grows a little bit because it is too small!
Hello
Does anybody use SPB Finance Fast Entry module on the blackstone.
Each time I tried to install it, the fast entry crash due to a "no skin" problem.
Didn't find anything on the spb support site and nobody seems to have found a solution

Unfortunately Spb Finance Entry doesn't have skins for WVGA devices (480x800) like Toshiba G900 device.

I was hoping that someone would have found something
I have found
copy this file to your spb finance "default" folder it will work, but only in VGA. anyway u still can easily use the program, everything works fine some1 owes me a beer)
Thanks
It works but I had to modify the registry. If like me you tried different skins before trying the file given by Salicho, you must delete the different item where skin and spb finance are used in registry. Except the default one, you must erase the other ones to prevent the program to try to use it.
Ask if it doesn't work, but it rocks in my hd
Wonderful
I was so shocked, when Spb Finance Entry didn't work my new phone.
But many thanks to Sallcho who made my Touch HD rock again
Thanks Sallcho I appreciate it.
Did anyone ever find/make a 480X800 skin? Even spb site only gives the 480X600 skin.

Sadly, SPB has dropped the finance development (and the forum) and it's support. It will not work on anything past WM6.1
