Information about using Windows Mobile 2005 for XDA II.

What you need
A stable radio rom, and id recommend that you skip using the
extended rom for now since there might be programs that is incompatible
with Windows Mobile 2005. So, get a blank extended rom for installing.
Id recommend using the new radio rom from WM2003SE that seems
to be the most stable so far.
To install this, you also need nk.nbf, Patch1.exe to patch nk.nbf to work
with your XDA II (whateverbrand). And you need the update utility.
Summary of files:
Actice Sync 4.0 beta.exe
HimaUpgradeUt.exe
nk.nbf
patch1.exe
"empty" extended rom. ms_nbf
1. Installing Activesync 4 Beta.
- Install ActiveSync 4. Make shure that you can sync with your XDA II
just like it is, with the current Windows Mobile.
- If you run into problems, remove ActiveSync and reinstall.
- If it still wont work, try removing the device driver in windows control
panel - system - device manager. Look for the driver on the error messege.
(have not tested this, but should work if you have driver problems)
2. Going to boot mode.
- Put your XDA II in boot mode, by pressing the direction key left while
holding the off button and then pressing reset button with your stylus.
- It should go black, displaying only a version Nr. Like V 1.03 or V 1.06.
3. Patching nk.nbf.
- Run the Patch1.exe to fix the nk.nbf for your XDA II.
- Now run the WM2005 update program (HimaUpgradeUt.exe) and follow
onscreen instructions. If it complains about Country ID, download
the tool ER2003Edit.
Link: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=ER2003Edit
Make shure you do as it says on the info page on this, so that you wont
change anything you shouldnt change!
When in boot mode, the thing to edit should normally be the brand name.
So set it to the brand on your XDA II.
4. Finishing up!
-When it is done, just reset your device and you all set.
5. About WM2005 bugs and stops.
- The new operating system handles memory differently, so you cant
install the programs in the default directory because of low memory install
it to the Storage Card (SD), in Active Sync 4.0 you can not chose this, but
you will be prompted on the device after install of a program.
- Some programs that have _not_ been rewritten into WM2003SE does
not work, and will likely to crash on WM2005.
That is mainly directed to programs that have heavy multimedia demands,
or rewrites the screen graphics.
- Be aware that bad SD card may slow down the system
extremely! But if that is the problem, i promise you will notice!
Skinning programs is to forget directly, i have not found a single program
that works.
- Pocketbreeze have problems updating on the Today screen, i do not
know if that is because of the new database system or if it is a new today
screen code. Also, contactbreeze does not work at all, seems like the
database for handling contacts is all new.
Good news!
Bluetooth works perfecly, and syncing is flawless, its faster and seems
more stable. (i will write more good things later, have to go eat now)

Have comm manager icon on Today?

I'm using dopod d810 from 3 network. Just flashed it with the new 3.0 firmware with WM6. I'd like to have the comm manager icon on the today. How can I achieve that?
Thanks

trinityhack
Just download Trinityhack v 0.3 and in the Display tab activate the show wireless manager icon....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=303657

Funny,
Got back Installation of Trinityhack.CAB was unsuccessful. Is it because its WM6? I sent the zip file over bluetooth, unpacked it, and ran the cab.

Yeah what is the direct key in the registry? if anyone knows it'll be good.
Thanks

install battery status 1.04 beta and create a comm manger tray icon.
exe file can be found in windows directory

I used HTweakC 2.1 & it works fine with any rom "just ignore the error message "Unsupported Device ID TRIN100" when app starts.

Find the Comm manager shorcut (.lnk) in the windows directory and copy them into your startmenu/programs directory.
You will then be able to use it on your today.

TrinityHack didn't work. Still, very handy

This really works?
hotplainrice - Here is the file, put it in your programs folder (Windows > Start Menu > Programs)

Here's how i operate the comm's...:
I use this extended version off BatteryStatus, which allows you to create Today tray icons for WLAN and Bluetooth (and some more stuff like ScreenOff, etc). I created trayicons for WLAN and BT only (and for DeviceLock) to operate these.....and i use VoiceCommand to toggle flight-mode on or off
To me it's the most convenient operation of the comm's ... have phun...

Assign anny Program launcher to Startbutton in upper left corner

Hallo
i found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=486712
With this program you can assign anny program to the "software" startbutton.
I mapped YotaCenter to start button and would say its far better than the new windows startmenu and the new htc start menu.
It has several advantages. YotaCenter enables you to place favorite apps in an easy way and brings a taskmanager.
Also other program launchers are better than the windows/htc one - so give this startbutton app a try

I want to do this could you tell me what I have to do as that thread is a bit confusing for a nooby?
Thanks

thanks!!!
hI MARKUSSIEBERT!! Thank you for your great app. I am happy finally! Thanks

has anyone got this working on dutty 2.3?

Yes - im using it with dutty 2.3 even if it seems that there are some unexpected behavios.
Unexpected behaviors are:
-sometimes (ever 15 - 20th touch) the original startmenu appears, but its ok
-a second click on "Start" doesnt close the launcher window (because it only launches)
How to use it:
1. install the cab
2. open any registry editor
3. goto HKCU\software\allelimo\StartButton\Run
4. change the value to what you want to start
If you want to launch:
\Program Files\MyApplicationFolder\MyApplication.exe
you have to insert:
MyApplicationFolder\MyApplication.exe
if you want to start an application that is not on the Program Files folder, you can write the full path instead:
\Memory Card\Program Files\MyApplicationFolder\MyApplication.exe
How to extend the hook to the "Start" text?
HKCU\software\allelimo\StartButton\HookText
Set this value to 1 for hooking the word "Start"
Delete the key for hooking only the Start button

yeah, i could get it to work from the memory card, but i reinstalled yota onto the phone and i got it working..
as you said clicking start doesnt close it,
one more (i dont know if it is limited to dutty 2.3) if you click to the right of the start text the normal start menu will come up, every time..

you have to diasble the new htc startmenu first,
To enable "old" LargeMenu (Disable new manila start menu):
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\EnlargeMenu\Enable ManilaStartMenu =dword:00000000
then configure this tool...works for me

[REQ] Wake On Lan

Hi Guys & Gals,
Quick question.....
Has anybody come across a Wake On Lan app for WM6. I have a small home network that I start up from a central PC using Wake On LAN function in the system BIOS. I would like to be able to start my PC's from the Blackstone over my WLAN.
Everything within the LAN & WLAN is running reserved DHCP from the router side so all IP's are constant including the Blackstone.
Cheers for any replies.........
Gilgamesh.......

I don't know if any solution exists but I've read a tutorial (in french sorry) on how to make a wake on line application for wm
http://blogs.msdn.com/pierreca/archive/2009/03/19/wake-on-lan-depuis-votre-t-l-phone.aspx
Hope that could help you

Try this..

jpl69 cheers.........The app works like a charm but is a little basic. Needs the full MAC to be entered manually each time.
What would be really nice is some way of associating the MAC to a short meaningful name that could then be listed so it could just be selected from a list rather than enter the full MAC each time. In this way multiple PC's coud be listed.
While we're at it would also be nice to have a standby button as well so PC's within the LAN could be started and shut down form the app.
I've never written an app before and would either like a few pointers to see if I could do it or see if anyone out there would consider building on the app already posted.
Any suggestion welcome.......

Besides developing an app to that (no time) i could sugest make several shortcuts using resco and parsing the mac as parameter. At least you only had to make it once.

Thanks jpl69 for your continued replies...much appreciated.
I have seen Resco but not realy sure which component to download to edit the exe. I have used PEG (parsing) in other apps at work but just need something to get me started on WM6. I could the replicate the exe per MAC and create a single file or each PC

Might be worth looking at vxUtil: http://www.cambridgevx.com.
This has Wake-On-LAN (among other things), and I think it remembers previously entered values. You can't give things memorable names but it might help.

i think he means, like, create new shortcut with parameters. Just for example the same as on pc creating a shortcut to c:\quake\quake.exe and use the string "c:\quake\quake.exe" +bind mouse1 shoot +set mode opengl blablabla

Again thanks for the continued replies.....
Downloaded vxUtil and had a play and it does have a working WOL option but again it's messy and not really the simple solution I was looking for. It does have some other features (ping/sweep, tracert & DNS lookup) but I don't really have a use for these.
Still really after a single icon to start each PC as per the shortcut suggestion above.
All suggestions still welcome and appreciated.

I will just try to clarify what was the idea of jpl69.
Please read the README file included in the attached archive (posted by jpl69).
It says:
"Command Line:
===============
Please use as following:
WakeOnLan.exe [MACAddress]
MacAddress can be either 01E4523AEE22 or 01:E4:52:3A:EE:22 "
Now with Resco Explorer (or with Total Commander, which is freeware) one can make several different shortcuts to WakeOnLan.exe, each ending with the specific MAC.
In Total Commander, after creating the shortcut, one must select it, choose "properties", then "shortcut" tab, then manually add the MAC at the end of the "target" line.
Copy the ready shortcut several times, name the new copies whatever you want and place those shortcuts in a folder. Dont forget to change the MAC for each machine.
Hope it helps.

Now I get it......Sorry for the slow uptake but been a busy boy and head has been fried by other things. Will have a play tomorrow and post back results.
Many thanks..........

I dont know if you still looking to do this but I got this working & figured I would reply here for future reference.
First i have a linksys DD-WRT router, so I followed these steps:
http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/WOL
Then I downloaded the attached cab & its one click & works great!

I have been using the WakeOnPocketPC from Depicus happilly with WM 6.1. Now, after upgrade to WM 6.5 (Dutty ROM Leo Holy Grail), the cab fails to install ("...installation was unsuccessful.")
Any other program with capability to send WOL packets to a particular IP address (and not just broadcast over LAN)?

Although this thread is about one year old, before I developed my WoL everywhere program, I searched for programs like mine here and came to this thread... None of the programs I've found fit my requirements, so I made a program myself...
So I hope your search is over and you've found what you need with my little WoL everywhere... you can download it here:

Create a shortcut to WakeOnLan with a MAC address
Hi,
I'm pasting to this old thread since I found the WakeOnLan tool here and want to share my tips with others.
If you want to create a shortcut so that you have a separate executable (say in your Start Menu) then follow these steps:
Install WakeOnLan from the above link. I put it in "\Program Files\WakeOnLan\WakeOnLan.exe"
Browse to this location with explorer on your PPC. Select the WakeOnLan executable and click "copy"
Browse to where you want the shortcut to appear:
"\Windows\Start Menu" will show in your start menu
"\Windows\Startup" will be run when you reset or power cycle the device
"\Windows\Programs" will apear in your Start Menu > Programs folder
"\Windows\Settings" will appear in your system settings
Select on some empty space (not an existing file) in your chosen folder and choose "Paste shortcut"
Use a text editor on Windows / Linux to edit this new file, or one on your device (I didn't have any that would open on my device so I copied it to Linux, edited in emacs, then copied it back)
Edit the line that looks like:
Code:
40#"\Program Files\WakeOnLan\WakeOnLan.exe"
essentially this is a character count, a "#", the location the shortcut points to, and arguments. Add your MAC address like this and take note of the quotes:
Code:
58#"\Program Files\WakeOnLan\WakeOnLan.exe" AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF
count the characters of the shortcut, mac address, and space, then add one. This is your new number (in my case, 58).
An easy way to do this is to use "wc" on Linux:
Code:
echo "\Program Files\WakeOnLan\WakeOnLan.exe AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF" | wc -c
57
(remember to add 1!)
Now you can repeat the process and paste as many different WoL shortcuts as you like! I've made just one and called it "WoL MythTv" to wake up my media centre at home. Neat
I'll post my sources in the next post since new users aren't allowed to post links...
