Word Mobile on WM5 - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General

Does Word Mobile miss the feature of "drawing"? I used to play with this when I'm bored. Better than the Notes program. You can draw and they get filled and they're objects so you can move them around and stuff lol I feel I'm suddenly a kid back again.. but anyway, it was nice. Anyone knows how to get it back? I can't seem to find it!

I'm sure it would be in the menu... Hmm.. I'm not too sure, but search the menu.

No luck! Anyway this happened some time ago and I already downgraded to WM2003SE awaiting more improvements or a new leaked build
What made me more convinced that this feature disappeared is that files Pocket Word that contained drawings displayed without the drawings. They occupy blank space.

Ideas for B&B version 4.2

I know that 4.1 is only just out & I think it's brilliant. I'm spending every evening checking new posts and playing with my phone like never before. So, before the 4.1 thread becomes the next thread with 1200 posts, I thought I'd start a new thread for ideas for 4.2
Tom - before I found the magic that is B&B I was using Wisbar Advance desktop and an application called innesoft address book which had a great feature that when someone called you, their photo was displayed full screen with their name (see thumbnails) rather than just the standard windows window.
Any chance you could devlelop something similar for 4.2 !!!
Cheers

Here is something that may hold you over, I am still trying to figure out how to use the caller id without the actual slide to unlock, bit here is something to tide you over, jsut a thought
Have a pretty much full screen keyboard for texting in landscape mode? The text appears at the top?
Is there a way we can assign a button to lock the phone rather than go thruogh the menu?
Cheers
Anybody knows if it is legal to include trial versions of apps in cooked rom?
Was thinking rom with included sktools, english dictionary of some kind, IM+, resco explorer, spb gprs monitor included on rom would save time and space. Apps included would be trial versions and ppl haveing bought them could just enter activation keys/serials, others could buy app if thy liked it.

This would be a waste of time and energy for most, these Roms are made to be efficient, the least amount of space used so that you as an individual can place your desired programs, once a rom is built there is no removing/uninstalling of any apps, hence the reason to not put trial versions into a rom, I use several of the above mentioned, but to "Bloat" a rom with them would be ineffecient. Best thing to do is install on your sd card, keep all your initial install cabs in one folder and use that as your rebuild folder. Cheers.

Is it not worth remembering that everyone has a different list of killer apps they MUST have on their device?
If Tom & Meschle etc added every app - the rom would only just fit on a 40gb hard disk!!!
To my mind - the idea is that the cooked roms are a basis onto which you install your own apps to make your own device work?
Constanlty asking for new apps to be added to a rom just complicates the issue. Or am I wrong?
something so i can remotly use my desktop via PPC
then im complete
automated network setup like in the O2 WM6 Premium 1.0 WWE rom
Extended timers & alarms application
I'd like to avoid installing SpbTime on each version
Great job!
OK, i agree, rom should be as slim as possible, but why the hell there is cube, psshutXP, PHM regedit/traylaunch, and office mobile on it then?
Could make an ultra lite wersion. (=
P.S. Dont get me wrong, i think 4.1 is great and it is a lot faster than O2. Just throwing around ideas about how to make it better.
with my original post, I was not really asking for a copy of the app, just would like a much bigger photo to pop up with caller id and liked the look of the inesoft one.
Tom - what do you think?
Just trying to make the ROM easier to use, more efficient.
B&B 4.1 is far better than original ROM from this point of view
TouchFlo for example helps to have everything we need with a single finger move..
Phone app is a lot more usable also.
Perhaps also the possibility to customize HTC Home by default, with more options (number of apps in the launcher, ..)
i don't think that is constructive to add as much apps, i can imagine, when it's released, everbody is shouting "this is not good" and "why did you use this app and not the other one"...and so one. I like it clear, not too much apps...but that's my opinion.
If i want it with all apps included then i start (to learn ) cooking my own ROM... IMHO i am very satisfied with the work that Tom is doing for us all. And 4.1 is just released. Enjoy it and let Tom make a break. He is hard working all the time!
Plugins for new version
Alarms extension (SpbTime style)
USB PenDrive emulator (WMstorage style)
Phone call recording (Audio Recorder style)
Thanks for B&B! Great job!
i have a great idea
Why dont we support Tom and all off his hard work and all the other wizards here, and stop complaining or asking for more.
like a bunch of kids in a sweet shop.
Improving File access
What I would like to see is the File Dialog Changer, I don't know who has heard of it but it is very good! Usually when you want to save files or open them in any application you get access to you My Documents folder. Only some smart apps like TCPMP and others have the option to access your entire pda.
File Dialog Changer changes the way you access your files in opening and saving them for every application, it's just 50 KB and you can activate / deactivate it in System Settings.

And about your wish I can only say that there is already Remote Desktop for WM6, I think I've downloaded it in the Wizard forum. Or use PocketVNC, that is the pda version for VNC. I am successfully using that with TightVNC on my computer. I just have to be in range of my WLAN and can turn on my computer by sending a wake on lan signal (not with vnc) and then access my computer through pocketvnc or access the files on my computer.

I think he had a point though. In the whole thread there is not one message of Tom Codon himself. Did you ask what he thinks? Maybe he has a few ideas of his own? After all, it will be his ROM...
Who says it will be B&B v4.2? Why not 4.3 or 5.0? If there will be another version let him take care of the numbers.

Samsung i760 forum

How about a separate forum for the i760. I'm having some issues with my device that others don't have on their devices. A central location would be nice to have.
Ditto. I just bought one, and should have it by the end of the week.
There don;t seem to be very many advanced users out there...
pdaphonehome.com has a big following for the i760.
I agree, it would be a nice spot to have a i760 forum. While I use both pdaphonehome.com and xda-developers.com, they really have two different tones. pdaphonehome.com has really gotten newbie oriented, while I still feel that xda-developers is really about tweak/changing/programming for a more advanced user. Just a thought!
and......
Where is this at, i still don't see a forum for the Samsung i760.
I will add my vote in this as well.
6gb
did anyone find the hack that allow the 6gb micro sdhc card to work fully with it? i have combed the the forums n find nothing concrete...
I think the most people got working was a 4GB
just got the 6g card...
i just got my card in the mail and put the hack i found on the phone. i am only seeing 1276.5 MB still looking for answers...
Another vote for a specific i760 forum!
I just got the i760 before christmas. Haven't done much so far. A lot of installing and uninstalling trying to figure out what works and what doesn't/doesn't yet.
So far:
wisbar advanced 3(the only thing I haven't really figured out how to customize yet)
RlToday
iPhone theme
PocketCM
slide 2 unlock 2
google maps
screen capture
I basically have been looking over the forums trying to find cool programs and install them and try it out. If it bugs out I uninstall and start over.
I hope to figure out wisbar and get a memory card soon...I desperately need more space for mp3s, excel files, and some simple word documents. I saw something about a hack to allow microsdhc cards to work. I have seen 8gb cards. Not sure if they would work for this device. But like with the rest I will try it and see once I buy one.

samsung i760 device ID
Hi there. I was wondering whether anybody knows yet how to find the device ID number on the samsung i760. On my previous xv6700, this was a 6 digit combo of letters and numbers, and I found it through the settings/system menu. For the i760, the code to view the main device info is #4357*, and an "ESN" or 7 digit serial number is listed and I'm wondering if that is in fact the device ID. Thanks.
have some programs

Hi, thinking in buying one (moving from Jasjar then TyTn I because of their bad mic sound with almost any BT headset). but need to know if the i760 will do well with agenda Fusion , finger friendly dial up ,vito audio notes. So if you have time and be kind enough to try and tell, will be great.
One more thing , do u have any complain about the other party hearing your voice intermittent from your BT ? Thanks
does anyone even read these comments? There are tons of phones on this forum, I don't see why an i760 section can't be created.
Samsung I760
Can anyone use Locate Me in Google maps?
Is java disabled at default for Verizon Samsung I-760?
One more vote
I'll add my vote for a Samsung SCH-i760 forum. I know its not an HTC, but come on, show some love
I vote for a Samsung i760 specific forum. A centralized location could bring a lot more new users to this site as there arent many samsung i760 forums yet.
Same here, I love XDA but a i760 thread would rock.
Guys
When HTC buys Samsung then I am sure we will think about it, in the mean time you will need to go to other sites.
What about a forum called other WM PDA forum.

Thank You To All Wm6 Chefs!!

Please rea this, it won't take long, just a word of appreciation
Thank you to all the chefs who cook the most amazing WM6 ROMS!!
I have been a fan of Windows Mobile for a while, but while everyone seemed to move on in terms of usability and interface design Windows Mobile seemed to get left behind and the final straw cam with the Iphone interface and interaction, It saddened me and angered me! As individuals we pay ridiculous amounts of money for software from MS and on a corporate level....well the licensing is quite lucrative! And all they seem to do is throw us a clunky slow interface. I loved windows mobile but i was slowly losing my faith and considering other options!
But! i had a load of DVD's to trade in at CEX and a few old mobiles and there was a brand new V1605 (Hermes) staring right at me with his price tag of £120 begging me to grab him. So after playing around with it i did.
Took it home that evening quite excited and began playing with it. Still slow, tried to set up MMS, GPRS, WAP etc what a task that was!
I took to the net and i stumbled accross this "cooked ROMS" thingy curiously i began researching and i thought what the hell i'll see what they are like.
Well all i can say is i am absolutely astounded at the creativity and skill of the Devs out there, Schaps, Pays you have completely reignited the Windows flame in me! my phone is now set up running like a horse in the kentucky derby, i have some fantastic programmes and customisation tools to play with, MMS works Great GPRS brilliant, the customisation is amazing!
I even did this little reg edit that allowed the MMS messages recieved to be shown as they are meant to be in full glory instead of scaled & watered down
rubbish you usually get!
right now all i need to do is get rid of the annoying beeping whenever i send an SMS and i will have my dream phone!
So to all those developers out there who work so hard cooking these ROMS you all deserve Michelin Stars for your cooking abilities, Gordon Ramsey a chef?? yeah right! lets see him try cooking a WM6 ROM like Schaps or Pays!
Thank you developers your the best!....

If you are talking about sent SMS notification, Schap's advanced config has a setting to get rid of that beeping.
There is also a reg edit of course, but advanced config is the easy route.

As for the notification in schaps rom, i thought this only disables the actual notification message appearning and not the sound. I read somewhere you need to delete a notification.wav file and replace it with a blank wav file
Yeah your right...

Winmo "eggtimer"

Re the windows mobile eggtimer (the rotating "wait for me" image), has anyone in the past edited it?
It struck me the other day that it's a particularly ugly image - especially because it's a rotating circle, with a bordered square box! I mean, come on Microsoft! The outer box could at least be transparent! (I'm aware that images files have to be rectangular).
has anyone hacked or edited this animated file? (or know which file it is in the /windows directory on the device?)
I've searched XDA for this topic, but not found anything - maybe my search-fu is not strong?
You'll have better luck searching for HourGlass

It works for my Touch HD.
^ Hi there... What's your settings in MWC? Thanks!
To be honest, i don't think the settings matter. I'm using version 3.0.
However take note of this, when the Touch HD loads from a reset, it works fine then after 12 hours later the cursor stops coming up, so i just go to unload MWC and reload it back and try a few different combinations of opening the program and such and it comes back.
It's not the most bug free program that's for sure.

My T7373 Is Here !!! YAY !!

I haven't figured out how to do anything except insert the battery and sim but WOW .. My totally honest first impression is maybe I like it as well or better than my iphone .. That is saying A LOT !!!
If you like it already, just wait until you figure out how to turn it on!
And of course when you start flashing ROMS and so forth...
It is better than the iPhone yes, but it is an entirely different beast. Don't expect it to run perfectly stock. If you spend a little time hacking it you can get it to run almost exactly how you'd like it to.
And really, isn't hacking half the fun of owning a WinMo phone? I think so. Even after I have my phone set up perfectly on one ROM, the urge to reflash is so strong that I can only hold out for a month, maybe two at most, until I start all over again. Yay.
congrats! Once you start figuring your way around the phone be sure to visit this thread full of great apps:

That thread that burton gave you is definitely the best place to start, to learn about all sorts of things you can do with and to your new fav gadget.
Installing apps and tweaks to your phone is usually a simple matter of obtaining a .cab file for whatever you want to install, copy the .cab to your phone (to a file on the SD card is best, so you can leave them there for future re-use), and clicking on the .cab to run it. Once you're comfortable doing that, I would highly recommend running the two cabs I've attached here, they're a good idea for any new TP2 owner; they improve the native memory management in the phone, and free up memory much better once apps are done using it, and they'll go a long way towards making your whole experience better (without them, your memory use will keep creeping up on you until you reset).

You are so right. I have the HTC Shift pretty much since it came to the USA .. I bought one - unleashed FULL WinMo .. sold it .. then missed it and bought another. I have Full WinMo and Phone on it .. I think all I need is blue-tooth on the WinMo side and for WinMo to recognize a memory card. Pretty sure neither of those hacks have been worked out. I can wait!!
PS .. thanks for the link and the files as well .. First thing I am going to do is sync my contacts .. then PLAY ..
Well the Shift is an even more different beast. That thing really is a mini-computer. Not sure how great of a phone it would make.
Anyone know if HTC is planning on coming out with a successor to the Shift?
The shift is for sure a computer. I have Win7 on it and WinMo 6 I think .. There is no bluetooth on the phone side so voice comes out of the speaker. If you held it up to your head it would look ridiculous.
Still ... it is nice to have a phone in it, only because you can
Miss my iphone desktop - Home Screen
I think I have been using my iphone too long because I am having a horrible time figuring out a design I like. I miss my iphone desktop.
If you haven't already, try out SPB mobile shell. It gives a very customizable interface w/ widgets.
I think I have that App .. I will first look on my computer for it . thanks. The thing that I find annoying that I haven't figured out is when I click on the phone to make a call. It opens half keypad half contacts. No "hard" buttons to scroll up and down through the contact list. .. correct ??

That is partialy correct. It actually brings up your call log. To pull up a number from your contacts just start typing on the keypads (either the number i.e 818 555 1234 or the name ie. Dad = 323). You can also click the all contacts button and go to a pure list of contacts, which you can then scroll through with the touch screen.
