Is it possible to remove WiFi, Bluetooth, Pocket Outlook, etc from a WM5 device . I have a symbol device that only needs 3 programs and a scanner to work. The unit will be docked for updates and data transfers. I already found a way to remove the phone from the device but need to free some more memory.
thanks

You are not going to free any memory by removing these things. They are part of ROM.
I am not sure what exactly you did to the phone (probably just stopped it from working) but check your memory. Chances are you gained exactly 0 program memory from the act.
Check the windows\startup folder on the device. You can remove links from there you do not need (like poutlook) to keep programs from starting automatically and taking up memory. But be careful not to remove something you need!

Have you try it on your Universal? Does it work?
Just tried this on an I-Mate JAMin and it works great. Thanks for posting it, very handy!!
Tried it on a Wizard, works flawlessly! I am in love! Thanks for finding this!
Work fine on HTC Prophet. Some experience would like to share as follow:
1. After you installed the program, soft reset first. If you encounter error message when you run this program first time, soft reset again.
2. During the file transfer process, the PDA cannot read the Memory Card.
3. Don't turn off the PDA power. You need to turn off any power time out setting in the PDA. Otherwise the process will stop.
Works like a charm on my MDA PRO with JASJAR ROM
Works perfect on Himalaya also!

Thank you it does not work on my dopod 900 i get an USB error.
Can u suggest please cheers
What does it do exactly?
Is it similar to Softick's Card Export 2?
So when installed, active sync via USB won't work anymore?
Is it always ON or is there a way to turn it OFF?
the program acts like a toogle. The first time you call it you can activate it, the second time you can deactivate it.

I get the following error
"Cant switch to mass storage USB driver, error 1f"
I have installed it to my device, not sd card and have soft reset it before using it.
Could it be that it doesnt support 4GB sd cards? I am using a 4gb transcend card.
I have an M5000
cheers
I was able to read a few more comments from the site, but I want to know your experiences regarding Active Sync and WM5torage switching on your Universals.
Is it possible to delete protected files from the \windows directiry with this software ?
well... i'm experiencing problems after activesync. WM5torage can't seem to initialize just like softick. I have to do a reboot and run WM5torage before activesyncing to make it work. I hope i'm not the only one having this problem... cuz if it is ... i need to do a clean reinstallation.
Jupiiiii
Great Tool !
Made my day.
Works perfectly on the Universal and the Wizard
Cheers

Nice tool. Save us $20. Here is what I found out with regards to active sync:
1) I had active sync running fine. Turned active sync OFF while still plugged in and turned on WM5torage and activate it. Computer stated "Unable to recognized device". Unplugged my Exec and plugged it back in and computer recognized it immediately as a Local Hard Dirve. Excellent piece of software.
2) I had active sync open in the back ground without being plugged in. Tried plugging it in and the computer failed to recognize my Exec. The small active sync icon on the task bar just moved. I unplugged my device and totally shut active sync application from start>settings>running applications. Plugged my Exec back and active sync connected without any problems.
Conclusions:
1) We need to totally kill active sync from running before it can reconnect without problems after using WM5torage.
2) We still need to unplugged the device if we want to run WM5torage or re-run Active Sync. It would be nice if we can just toggle in and out of it without manually unplugging the Universal.
All in all this is a very handy little application and I am glad it is FREE. What makes it nicer is that it has such a small footprint: 45kb. I did not experienced any errors upon installation. Nice work by the developer.

Voila..!! It worked with out USB errors. Cheers, Taurus
It works perfect !!!
Thank you !!
Version 1.3 attached here!
Version 1.3
- added prompt to soft-restart the device after installation
- when storage is attached to USB host, mobile device USB controller and flash disk are ordered to be kept in "Power On" state
- added switch to choose between "Removable" and usual ("Hard Disk") device classes. Will affect how the host OS treats the device - for instance, it will not create System Restore and Recycle Bin if class is Removable.

Wonderful! It works as stated on my QTEK 9000 Universal
With PHM Tray Launch I could put an icon in my bottom task bar

Hi Guys,
I've nabbed a damaged Artemis from work...
Reportedly, this unit was dropped in the bath, and o2 say it's the internal battery charging circuit that's been damaged.
Because of this, the unit wont charge, though it works fine when connected to external power.
What I'd like to do is use this as a tethered GPS device...
1. Hardwire a car charger into the car for power
2. Have the phone automatically turn GPS on
3. Insert a data-contract sim
4. On recieving a specific command via text, transmit it's gps position over the data card or via sms
Basically - use it as a vehicle tracking system.
Does software that'll even remotely do anything like this exist, or maybe one of you programming guru's here could write some sort of script to do this?
Just an idea before I resign and bin this puppy...
Was this device legally "nabbed" or stolen? - Mike
Google for and download Vito FindMe. Its free but requires activation.
Install and specify a secret word that triggers the app to activate gps and send the devices gps location to the sender.
Make sure you set up your QuickGPS to update automatically.
Buy a spare battery and charging stand! lol!
mobile justice
mobile justice is a much better program and is dead easy, even if some sod finds the phone and swaps the SIM Mjustice will tell you the new number allowing you to send a wee txt to it and gain exact GPS location, if you build the MJustice in to the ROM even a hard reset will leave it working, if they reflash it then all methods are no good.
I have a need for a registry editor so I can block private calls. I cannot leave my mobile off for work purposes, but something keeps calling between 5 and 6am every morning! Must be a computer. I hope that makes you want to help me!
So, I need a reg editor that will work with this mobile (notices many via google but they say you need ARM processor etc, I thought this was an OMAP or am I wrong?)
Second issue, when I start the mobile up if I need to reset or battery died etc, it starts tomtom every time and pocket informant appears on the screen as well, if my battery died while I was on a call, this can add about 2 minutes to the startup time, which is annoying for the person on the other end and me! Do I just delete the start.exe from my memory card for the tomtom issue?
Thanks,
There are several approaches to solve your problem. One would be to use "call firewall" or "turbo mobile event" (more difficult to use) or any other call firewall programm. Or you could use "wireless time" and have it turn your phone off between 5 and 6am. If you don't need it at that time it won't ring.
I didn't understand the second part very well. In \Windows\Startup there are the programs listed that start every time you do a soft reset. I don't know why PI or TomTom should be in those folders. I use PI and had TT installed, only TT has an autorun function I think and that is a file on the SD card in a folder with 5 numbers e.g. 2577 or anything like this. Erasing it could solve the problem, but this should only be the case if you do a hard reset. Normally it doesn't show up after a soft reset. Better check the manual before erasing the file, usually it's only for autorun function, but I can't remember if it's essiantial for the program.
If you really need a registry editor use phm regedit or get fdc soft's taskmgr, it has also a registry editor (multitool!).

just for info... Artemis = OMAP850 = Arm compatible processor.
Specifically the OMAP850 contains two cores, an ARM926 application processor from ARM's family of ARM9E cores and a TI EDGE digital baseband chipset, the TCS3500 (an ARM7MCU coupled with Texas Instruments C54 DSP). Basically the workload of the Wizard (or any mobile device that uses the 850) is thus divided into the two cores (with some shared)
The ARM926 core controls the WiFi module, Infrared, LCD, buzzer, SD/MMC flash card and SDIO modules, LCD backlight, U connection, battery, camera, LEDs and GPS.
As Windows Mobile 5.0 is a multi-task processor, processors has to divide up between the phone part of the OS and the PDA part. Receiving a call could slow the device down considerably, but the 3500 DSP is specifically there to deal with GSM calls.
It also controls EDGE data communications. The DSP also handles the AC97 audio controller, SIM card, touch screen controller and part of the Bluetooth (voice), as well as the speakers.
Both of the cores share the load on memory controller, 2D graphic accelerator, keyboard and data Bluetooth.

Hi,
Concerning the TomTom issue, I had the same problem at the beginning as I use to switch off my SPV at night. It was just a matter of renaming / moving the folder named 2577. I keep it in my Storage card in case I need to reinstall again for whatever reason.

ARM is the proc's architecture (what x86 is for PCs), Texas Instruments is the manufacturer and OMAP is the proc's type (what Pentium is for PCs). So anything for ARM pocessors should be ok. Hope that clears it.

One way to start an app. at startup is through /Windows/Startup
Another way is to put it in the registry, HKLM/Init. Then it would be started at boot time by the kernel. Probably not a good idea, unless you really need it and you know what you are doing.
The third way I know of, is to start it as a service.
That being said, DotFred's Task Manager is what you are looking for. It has a registry editor and a services manager, so that you can stop and/or deactivate a service. Total Commander has a registry editor too, in //Plugins

thanks for that i just removed the two autorun files in that folder and that did the same thanks for info
Core dear that RADAR advert is such a humungous Rip off i hope yuor getting good add money selling yuor soul so freely
Dear Friends,
how much I have understood, this device does not allow to install additional programs. I would like to use it for reading of books (Haali Reader and other such programs). Whether It is possible to install programs somehow there? For example, having changed the system register or having inserted memory card with autorun.
Thank you.
Hello everyone. I have just recently updated/flashed/done something to my phone to the Artemis Touch 4.02. Great rom so i have seen, no complaints with it. (Unsure what the proccess is actualy called.)
Only setback i have is that files i recive by bluetooth go straight to my main memory. What i would like to do is to have it go straight to my micro sd card, and to have a progress bar showing me the status.
I have tried a few programs.
DrYAR Bluetooth manager 1.5: Does what i need, but seems to be a little unstable. Sometimes freezes or will not connect to most phones.
DrYAR Bluetooth manager 1.6: Works great, only problem, if constently asks for every bit of the file you recive. So if its set to auto recive, theres alot of beeping going on.
DrYAR Bluetooth manager 2.0: I have seen this version somewhere, but i cant seem to download it
BT Tools: Dosnt seem to have many options.
Enable A2DP:Not sure where i got this from, but i had it from when i had a MDA Compact II. Worked for what i needed then. Dosnt seem to work on this one.
Broadcom Bluetooth Manager:Looks fantastic, many options to mess around with, but it just wount run on my device. Says there is not enogh memory to turn on bluetooth.
Is there any way i might make the first or last options work well, or is there another app i can try? So far it is a pain to move them over. I would like to keep the internal memory as free as possible.
Any more information you want do let me know.
PS Sorry for any spelling errors.
Is no one able to reply?
How about moBlue, works well on my Artemis and Diamond
HTH
Kim
Dosnt seem to work well on mine, still wants to use the windows version. Or sometimes the phone/whatever just doesnt connect
Well, I use moBlu as well on my Artemis & it works well. For it to work, you need to launch it before receiving a transfer via Bluetooth. You can set it up in its settings to make your phone discoverable when you launch the app & disconnect bluetooth when app is closed. And in the filters you will find 2-3 default filters, just select the "*.*" filter & set the location to a folder on your card. You can delete the other two filters or edit them & also add more if you want. They are file extension filters so if any file you are receiving matches them the filter will be applied & your file will be automatically stored in that specified filter folder.
